If you get rid of Windows and iTunes, what will you use to replace iTunes' smart playlists? Building a script to sync the first 6GB of music from a playlist doesn't seem tough. But I don't know how you'd create the playlist. Are you sticking with the Apple firmware, or considering moving to free software (http://www.rockbox.org/) on the iPod, too? :-) -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36724 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
